A Scientist Isolates Two Specific MRNAs

question 176

Essay

A scientist isolates two specific mRNAs.One codes for the enzyme fowlase,an enzyme that is involved in digestion in chickadees; the other codes for the quail enzyme quailase that is involved in cellular carbohydrate metabolism.Both mRNAs are placed in a test tube with RER vesicles stripped of their ribosomes,free ribosomes and precursors for protein synthesis.When the protein synthesis reaction is complete,fowlase is found inside the vesicles; quailase is found in the liquid portion of the test tube outside the vesicles.What can one conclude about the two proteins?
